The days when I wanted to be a human being

Zhou Ling looked at the unfamiliar face coming from Captain Roger and felt a little confused.

After all, according to Roger's personality, he should have done it himself at this time. Why would he let his companions go first?

But despite his doubts, Zhou Ling did not forget what he had to do today.

She began to gather her strength.

"Om~"

An invisible wave spread outward.

A buzzing sound came from Zhou Ling's fist and reached everyone's ears.

The birds in the sky were the first to be affected, and they flew higher and farther in panic.

The originally calm sea surface began to become turbulent.

Countless fish began to scramble away from Zhou Ling.

Even the huge whale at the intersection of the Grand Line was frightened by this momentum and swam away.

Everyone saw these abnormalities and could feel that his fist was accumulating a terrible power.

"(⊙o⊙)Wow! Captain! That big guy looks so strong. Can you beat him?"

Bucky asked Roger with a worried look on his face.

Shanks looked calmly at the figure in the distance, tightly gripping the knife in his hand. His knuckles turned white from gripping it too tightly.

"You are still young, don't worry, there is plenty of time." Roger patted Shanks' shoulder and said with a smile.

He could see Shanks' anxiety, but he could only teach him. If Shanks wanted to become stronger, he had to work hard on his own.

"I'm afraid Barrett will have to remain silent for a long time this time." Rayleigh sighed as he stood next to Jabba.

"Oh, that guy will drive himself crazy sooner or later."

Jabba said noncommittally, looking at Kurokas beside him, "Is Roger's illness really incurable?"

"No, unless the thing you used before can be supplied every day."

Crocus said, shaking his head, and suddenly looked at the green long sword in Shanks' hand.

"or…"

"Or what?"

"No, nothing." Kurokas had wanted to say that if Shank was willing to contribute his rare green knife, Roger would have no problem living as long as he wanted.

But there are too many people here now, and he doesn't want to say it out loud, for fear of causing countless troubles.

After all, immortality is such an attractive thing.

He naturally didn't know that the person who could make that thing was not far away.

"Bang!" The heavy fist made a loud bang in the air.

The fist moved quickly in the air, igniting a raging flame.

Barrett looked on excitedly as the fist covered in flames came towards him.

He also threw his fist.

"Oh!"

The two fists collided in the air.

But they never met each other.

There seemed to be a thick invisible barrier between the two fists.

In just a moment, Barrett felt the unparalleled power from the opponent's fist.

Before his expression changed from excitement to shock, he flew backwards like a kite with a broken string.

"call out!"

Barrett's figure created circular white smoke in the air.

Finally, it crashed into the Upside-Down Mountain not far away, making a loud noise.

"boom!"

A huge cloud of dust was raised.

"what!"

All I heard was a roar amidst the flying dust.

Barrett's figure flew towards Zhou Ling from the air again.

But soon, his figure fell on the Upside-Down Mountain again, just like before.

Once again, a huge hole was added to Upside Down Mountain.

"Damn it! Roger! You, you didn't tell me earlier that you had such a powerful opponent!"

Barrett walked out of the dust and spoke passionately, then he opened his hands.

The red earth continent beneath his feet seemed to be attracted by it and flowed towards him.

Soon, a giant made of red earth and stone appeared where Barrett had just stood.

"Let me see if you can knock me away again!"

Barrett's voice came from the stone giant.

Then the stone giant took a step forward and walked towards Zhou Ling.

The people watching the battle on the boat looked at the stone giant running past not far away.

Everyone started rowing the boat in a hurry.

After all, this behemoth could overturn the Or Jackson with one kick. If they didn't stay away from it, things would be very bad.

"Hahaha! Guys! Hurry up! Let's row the boat!" Roger laughed and pulled up the anchor with Sikar.

"Captain, she..." Shanks looked at the burly man in the distance with a worried look on his face.

"Just watch carefully, Shanks, you are facing the real strong man on the sea..." Roger put his hand on Shanks' shoulder and smiled confidently.

“…nothing.”

Zhou Ling was not panicked at all when she saw the giant appearing. After all, she had experience in this matter.

She loosened her clenched fists, shook her hands twice, and smiled, "You want to compare the size, right?"

"boom!"

A large amount of blazing flames burst out from Zhou Ling's body.

In a flash, a giant made of flames appeared above the sea.

What is worrying is that countless flames are still bursting out and then converging on the fire giant.

The color of the fire giant quickly changed from orange-red to yellow-white.

...

The warship, which had sailed a long way, had stopped at some point.

Kuzan looked calmly at the two giants that appeared on the sea in the distance.

He had already come to the deck from his recliner when Zhou Ling and Barrett exchanged their first punch.

"I never thought that this little brother had such a powerful hidden strength."

"Also, the other one should be Douglas Barrett. I didn't expect him to be on Roger's ship. I'm afraid I have to report this to the headquarters first."

...

"Wow, this is so awesome... Hey? Shanks, what's wrong with you?" Buggy exclaimed after looking at the giant on the sea in shock.

When he turned to look at Shanks, he found that Shanks was in tears at this moment.

"No, nothing." Shanks spoke without taking his eyes off the Flame Giant.

His face looked calm, but his heart was filled with mixed emotions.

During the years since I left, I have been getting stronger, but now I still can't catch up with her.

His fists were clenched so tightly that they made crackling sounds.

At this time, Buggy beside him said again, "Shanks, do you feel that it is getting hotter and hotter?"

Bucky said, fanning himself with his hands.

"Hmm?" After hearing what Buggy said, Shanks also felt the temperature around him getting hotter and hotter.

Shanks looked at Roger, "Captain, what is this?"

Roger glanced at the white sail on the main cypress, which was already slightly charred.

"Hahaha! Guys, it looks like we still have to keep rowing!" Roger shouted to others and turned his gaze to the fire giant in the distance.

"Shanks, work hard to become stronger." Roger patted Shanks on the shoulder and continued rowing with the others.

The temperature around them was getting higher and higher, and they had to get away from here as soon as possible.

Barrett felt the heat coming from the stone, but he was even more excited, "What a powerful force."

He watched as the fire giant slowly changed from orange to white.

The sea under the feet of the fire giant has also been boiling, and countless steam has risen from the sea surface, surrounding the fire giant.
